Saw the dr today, says I'm doing great! Down from a size 10/12 to a 6/8! Start endermologie Monday. Been upping the deep massage and it really helps with the pain and lumps. Can't wait for summer. :)

Hot damn get it sexy. 2 dress sizes down and you arent even working out fully yet. Thats awesome. Now you tell me about benadryl. Lol I was using anti itch cream.
April 10, 2014
:), thanks! I've started walking about 2-3 miles every other day again. Taking it slow. Even just 1-2 Benadryl caps has helped the itching, which I'm now almost over thankfully. I have sensitive skin anyways and generally take Allegra daily for it.

Awesome...do you have any updated pics? I am worried about sagging skin after, I have very similar look as you, and fear a tummy tuck:(

I have slight amount of looseness to my arms but dr thinks it will tighten up. My stomach is pretty tight but I had no stretch marks on my abdomen going in and I think that's one of the biggest factors on wether your skin will retract along with age and abdominal muscle separation . I saw the dr last week and they are suppose to be sending me my before and after pics, so as soon as I get them I'll post :).

I have a few stretch marks not many but I do fear abdominal muscle separation...I go for a consult today to find out. I will be devastated:( I do not want a tuck....I heard lipo is actually worse though...

2 weeks out and my recovery is going well, besides the itching. Benadryl has been a must. So far I am thrilled with my results, I can actually start to see my stomach muscles! Bruising is almost completely gone and just a residual amount of swelling. Will post pics soon. Back to dr Wednesday for another postop check. Weight is down to 152!

Saw the dr for 1st postop appointment today.

Everything went well. Dr Vennemeyer was excited and happy with how I was recovering, considering my age and the fact that I had 3 children prior! :) Still a lot of swelling and bruising, especially in my arms. He's so sweet and gentle natured I'm really going to miss him! He told me he was surprised by the amount of fat he took from my arms, and verified what I've been saying for years, he took 500 ml out when the norm is 200-300! So anxious for the pain, bruising, and swelling to go down, I foresee tank tops and tube tops in my future! :)

You look great im.glad.to find someone my same age same sx.xcept. I didn't get my arms.done and around the same time. And in the states. Im.now 4 days post op. I love my results as well Im.not sure my inches are that much as im waiting 1wk to measure. I was a bit concerned when I see all the post of the younger ladies going oversea to the Dominican Republic. And their post op pics. Happy to have a real twin with our similar expectations. Thank you for sharing

Happy to hear from you and glad to know there is someone out there around my age. I don't understand the overseas surgeries but my price is a factor there. In all truth my arms have been the hardest part of the recovery so far with swelling coming and going, but I know the end result will be worth it and hope the same for you! :)
